Navis Clinical Laboratories

The only positive thing i can say about this lab is that it’s a good place for someone to start fresh out of school. For entry level work, they provide you with numerous benefits, and provide training that allows you to obtain certain licenses.  I was also told that in the past, this place used to be a great place to work.

This place falls short in every other way. Too many coworkers show up and leave whenever they want, disappear for extended periods of time, or push off/neglect their own work and face no consequences. You can count the amount of people who care about their job on one hand.

Management will make decisions or changes that are so questionably bad, you’ll wonder if they’re incompetent or want the company to fail. To say upper management is out-of-touch is an understatement. You’ll be told to perform your tasks one way and then be expected to perform it a different way. The lab is critically understaffed and they have no problems with hiring no one. Since I've started, I’ve seen 6 people leave, and only one has been replaced. Reaching out to a supervisor/HR/management is equivalent to yelling into the void. Theres no indication your messages are received, and very rarely will you ever seen any response/follow up. 

Your hours and schedule will be played with and changed however the company sees fit, and you will make significantly less here than you will anywhere else. Advancement is a rarity, and promotions are few and far between. Supervisor is very unprofessional, avoids talking to some people, micromanages the weirdest things, and dodges or circumvents questions. Workers are treated like drones, and not people.

I do not recommend.

I’ve worked here for a few years prior to it becoming Navis Clinical Laboratories. Management had a great open-door policy, supported employees, promoted learning of new techniques, encouraged contribution of new ideas to tackle new challenges. It created a great working environment for young adults to grow into professionals.

When Navis Clinical Laboratories bought the lab, the atmosphere changed. A majority of the management transferred over from the lab, but the attitude shifted to one of toxicity. Doors that were previously open with friendly faces slammed shut. Anyone with issues, disagreements or frustrations were either told to go somewhere else, insulted or told to quit.

The pay is non-competitive for the field so a majority of the hires are unqualified or lazy forcing the good employees still remaining to do a majority of the work, while management holds no employee accountable. Human Resources is inept, punishing multiple employees without proper protocols in place or flat out against policy, opening the company up to lawsuits. The responsibilities demanded from employees are way outside of the realm of what they were hired for (including construction projects for the building).

They forced a lot of good people out, voluntarily and involuntarily. I whole heartedly do not recommend anyone to apply for a position at this company.

Out of touch management since Navis bought the lab, decisions are made by people who aren't on site.  When employees leave, they aren't replaced meaning more work for the remaining employees, also makes scheduling time off harder.
Also very unlikely to fire employees who don't lift their weight, which doesn't encourage you to do more than the minimum as well.
Lab director and company heads will make you feel like just a number, but the supervisors feel invested in you.  Will make you feel more loyal to them than the company.
Best thing about this place is the employees, and experience for first time work.

This job is good if you're a recent college graduate with no prior real-life lab experience. That being said, many employees lack an understanding of the field, and the pay is low.

Expectations vary depending on the person. Some employees are extremely incompetent and inefficient, resulting in an unfair share of responsibility in the department. The employees that go above and beyond aren't appreciated enough. 

Complaints aren't always taken seriously by upper management, even after multiple people bring something to their attention on multiple different occasions. Nothing seems to change.

This lab used to be a great entry level lab that offered many ways to advance and move up within the company. After changing to navis (previously Cordant) the company stopped filling positions of need and drove out all the employees that were hard working and always trying to do their best. Lab environment turned toxic as no supervisors or managers are present on a daily basis. All communication is done through email and phone calls and makes it easy for things to be missed. 

Navis has been a fantastic place to work. I joined the company a few years ago while it was still called Cordant. Management supports employees by providing a one-year toxicology training program for free. The company even reimburses the first year of New York Clinical Lab Tech fees. I also appreciate that they promote from within whenever possible. I started as a specimen processor and moved into a full tech role. Highly recommend!

The interview was such a long process.  It took 2 months.  Communication was getting lost in translation as departments weren't talking to each other.  HR ignored me for weeks after hiring me.  Great office atmosphere.  Manager is nice.  On call positions get first dibs on moving into full time positions when they become available.  Travel pay is good.  Entry level on the job training.

Challenging and interesting work and supportive leaders are two very important aspects of my work life - and they are both front and center at Navis Clinical Laboratories.  
We're a new company and we have a laser-focus on employees, in a very good way.
Very engaging CEO and C-Suite!

The job was straightforward enough. Lots of time spent in small spaces, may not be best for those who are claustrophobic. Pay was fair. However, after a safety incident, the company did not follow through on improving safety for employees, which was very disappointing.

This is an uncomfortable, unprofessional company to work for. From top to bottom. There’s two departments where you’ll find a few workers serious about their job, that’s it. The supervisor and director will treat it like a playground
